only request `nextPeriod` sync duties close to end of `currentPeriod` (#5409)

Currently we always request duties for current and next sync period.
As sync periods are quite long (~27 hrs on Mainnet), having access to
the duties so early doesn't help too much. To avoid running into errors
when the BN does not have the duties available around period boundary,
delay requesting them until the current period is close to finish.

`SYNC_COMMITTEE_SUBNET_COUNT` epochs are what the spec says should be
the lookahead timing of starting to subscribe to sync committee gossip.
Reusing the constant here for consistency.

This fixes these warning messages in the first slot of a new period.
